One night was enough in CT, unless the person it happened to was lying about it. She had let some woman stay there after a party (somebody she apparently didn't know all that well) and then the woman refused to leave. Cops refused to help without an eviction order.

Yeah they were lying about it. No state would ever claim that bullshit unless the cops were just being lazy.

Cops don't like getting involved in anything. Some guy hit my brother's car in a parking lot, got it on security and everything, my brother calls the cops and they were like, "Nope, private property, bro, sorry!"

But you know if you self-helped by slashing that mofo's tires when you caught up with him they'd totally get involved.

You can't be charged with false arrest if your actions can be justified. It can be difficult to prove theft prior to exiting, yes, but it's possible to do so. Back when I was a police officer, one of the first people I arrested was a shoplifter at Target and we arrested them in the store. He was about to leave and that's when we stopped him, hence proof of intent.

Back when I worked retail, one of my old managers used to work in Bridgeport. The cops there handled shoplifting cases a bit differently. Instead of arresting the guys, they would take them out back and throw them down a staircase then warn them not to come back or they'd get worse. While part of me was horrified by those kinds of abuse, I imagine that's far easier and cheaper for the justice system.

See this is what really confuses me, how do you prevent people from just wandering in, eating stuff, and leaving? It can't be a big problem or they would have to have more security etc. I know dinning and dashing is a thing, and I have seen people arrested for it (although again, not exactly sure how they can really protect themselves from it), but at least in that case they have a ticket order, and plates with food that was eaten etc, as proof.

Yeah, that's always been a semi-gray area. I've never liked opening anything before buying it for that reason.
